Hello, I'm in the escrow in the purchase of a C&C 29 Mark II circa 84/85; I realize the seller might be on this list. :-) Curious if anyone has experience taking them on extended cruises and how the 29's mkii's handle in heavy seas and high wind (BF 5+). I wouldn't intentionally sail into a gale, but I'm sailing it on Lake Superior where the weather can be unpredictable.
Also, curious if anyone knows how the spreader's are reinforced on the mast. Are they simply drilled or are there backing bolts or sleeves for more support. Been reading this old boat and Don Casey is pretty insistent that they need to be reinforced to insure distribution of the load at the point of attachment. Thanks, Gene
